Retired And Wired

The problem…

Data journalists have more tools than ever before. Sadly, news outlets have less money than ever before. So how can those outlets, especially local ones who cover most of this country, afford investigative reporting?

The solution…

Train retired journalists (and any other interested retirees) in data journalism. Pay them modest sums to dive deep into local projects, then bill those media outlets for a fraction of what that reporting would cost on the open market.

The goal…

Give retired journalists a mission that matters. Give media outlets the reporting they crave. Create a data journalism project that engages a community.
